Upon recommendation of the editorial board, the commission may contract for health care surveys to be conducted. Data providers shall participate in the survey process upon request of the commission. The surveys shall be undertaken based upon the criteria in 7 NMAC 1.22.9.2 [now Subsection B of 7.1.22.9 NMAC] and upon the following factors:

A. National standardized survey: The commission shall use a national standard health care survey instrument or instruments, verified and tested by scientific methods. Where practical, the commission shall adopt for use a standard survey instrument that is in accordance with generally accepted industry practices.

B. Independently administered: Standard surveys shall be independently administered by independent contractors, using the protocol or specifications provided with the surveys where available and as applicable to the health information needs of New Mexico health care consumers. As appropriate and practical, surveys shall be conducted by a firm certified by the generally recognized industry association or quality-certifying entity.

C. Coordination among state agencies: If feasible the commission shall coordinate its survey efforts with other state agencies that have regulatory or contractual oversight of data providers to avoid redundant reporting requirements.

D. Burden on survey populations: Where possible the commission shall limit redundant requests of the survey target populations, and when feasible coordinate survey efforts with other public and private entities, to ease any burden imposed by multiple survey efforts.
